Q.1Let f x x ( ) = (OCR unclear).v
Solution

The OCR for this item is incomplete and the function is not recoverable from the text given. Please provide the complete statement of the problem (the definition of f(x)) so that a linearization or requested calculation can be performed.

Answer:

Question text unclear; cannot determine intended problem precisely.

Q.2Use the linear approximation to find approximate values of (i) 123^{1/3} (ii) 15^{1/4} (iii) 26^{1/3}.v
Solution

Use f(x)=x^{1/n}. (i) For 123^{1/3} take a=125 (5^3). f'(x)=1/(3x^{2/3}), f'(125)=1/75. dx=123-125=-2. f(123)≈5+(1/75)(-2)=5-2/75=4.973333... (ii) For 15^{1/4} take a=16. f(16)=2, f'(x)=1/(4x^{3/4}), f'(16)=1/32. dx=-1 ⇒ f(15)≈2-1/32=1.96875. (iii) For 26^{1/3} take a=27. f(27)=3, f'(27)=1/27. dx=-1 ⇒ f(26)≈3-1/27=2.96296296...

Answer:

(i) 4.973333... (ii) 1.96875 (iii) 2.962963...

Q.3Find the linear approximation at x = 27. Use the linear approximation to approximate 27^{2/3}. (interpreted as f(x)=x^{2/3})v
Solution

Let f(x)=x^{2/3}. Then f(27)=27^{2/3}=9. f'(x)=(2/3)x^{-1/3} so f'(27)=(2/3)(1/3)=2/9. Linear approximation at a=27: L(x)=f(27)+f'(27)(x-27)=9+(2/9)(x-27). In particular f(27)=9 exactly; for x=26, f(26)≈9+(2/9)(-1)=8.777...

Answer:

Linearization L(x)=9 + (2/9)(x-27). Hence 27^{2/3}=9 (exact). For nearby x (e.g. 26) L(26)=9-2/9=8.777... .

Q.3Find a linear approximation for the following functions at the indicated points. (i) f(x)=x^3+5x^2-12x+2 at x=0. (ii) g(x)=x^2+9x-4 at x=0. (iii) h(x)=? (OCR unclear).v
Solution

(i) f(0)=2, f'(x)=3x^2+10x-12 ⇒ f'(0)=-12 so L(x)=2-12x. (ii) g(0)=-4, g'(x)=2x+9 ⇒ g'(0)=9 so L(x)=-4+9x. (iii) The third function statement is not legible in the OCR; please supply the correct f(x) and the point.

Answer:

(i) L(x)=2-12x. (ii) L(x)=-4+9x. (iii) Question (iii) unclear.

Q.4The radius of a circular plate is measured as 12.65 cm instead of the actual length 12.5 cm. Find (i) absolute error (ii) relative error (iii) percentage error in the radius.v
Solution

Absolute error = measured - actual = 12.65 - 12.5 = 0.15 cm. Relative error = 0.15/12.5 = 0.012. Percentage error = 0.012×100% = 1.2%.

Answer:

(i) 0.15 cm (ii) 0.012 (iii) 1.2%

Q.5A sphere of ice has radius decreasing from 10 cm to 9.8 cm. Find approximate: (i) change in volume (ii) change in surface area.v
Solution

Volume V=(4/3)πr^3 so dV/dr=4πr^2. At r=10 and dr=-0.2: ΔV≈4π(10^2)(-0.2)=-80π ≈ -251.33 cm^3. Surface area S=4πr^2 so dS/dr=8πr. At r=10: ΔS≈8π(10)(-0.2)=-16π ≈ -50.27 cm^2.

Answer:

(i) ΔV ≈ -80π cm^3 ≈ -251.33 cm^3. (ii) ΔS ≈ -16π cm^2 ≈ -50.27 cm^2.

Q.6T = 2π sqrt(l/g). Find approximate percentage error in T corresponding to an error of 2% in l.v
Solution

T ∝ l^{1/2}. Relative change: ΔT/T ≈ (1/2)(Δl/l). For Δl/l = 2% ⇒ ΔT/T ≈ 1% ⇒ percentage error ≈ 1%.

Answer:

Approximately 1%.

Q.7Show that the percentage error in the nth root of a number is approximately (1/n) times the percentage error in the number.v
Solution

Let y=x^{1/n}. Then dy = (1/n)x^{1/n-1} dx, so dy/y = (1/n)(dx/x). Converting to percentages: %Δy ≈ (1/n)%Δx.

Answer:

If y=x^{1/n}, then Δy/y ≈ (1/n)(Δx/x), i.e. percentage error scaled by 1/n.

EXERCISE 8.2EXERCISE 8.211 questions
Q.1Find differential dy for each of the following functions: (i) (OCR unclear) (ii) y = (sin x + ?)/? (iii) (OCR unclear).v
Solution

The OCR for the three subparts is garbled. For each function y=f(x) the differential is dy=f'(x) dx. Please provide the explicit functions so differentials can be computed.

Answer:

OCR incomplete; please supply clean statements.

Q.1(ii) x = 3 and dx = 0.02. (Context missing.)v
Solution

The statement gives a point and dx but not the function whose differential is required. Provide the function f(x) to compute df = f'(3)·0.02.

Answer:

Context insufficient — unable to compute without the function.

Q.2Find df for f(x)=x^3+2x and evaluate it for (i) x=2 and dx=0 (OCR incomplete).v
Solution

f'(x)=3x^2+2 so differential df=(3x^2+2)dx. For x=2, df=14 dx; if dx=0 then df=0.

Answer:

df = (3x^2+2) dx. At x=2: df = (3·4+2)dx =14 dx. If dx=0 then df=0.

Q.3Find Δf and df for the function f and compare for indicated values. (i) f(x)=x^3−2x^2, x=2, Δx=0.5. (ii) f(x)=x^2+3x−2, x=3, Δx=0.1. (reconstructed).v
Solution

Using reconstructed functions: (i) f'(x)=3x^2-4. At x=2 f'(2)=12-4=8. df=8·0.5=4. f(2)=8, f(2.5)=15.625 so Δf=7.625. (ii) f'(x)=2x+3. At x=3 f'(3)=9. df=9·0.1=0.9. f(3)=16, f(3.1)=16.91 ⇒ Δf=0.91. (Comparison: df approximates Δf; errors are Δf-df as above.) Note: the original OCR was ambiguous; if the functions differ please give the exact statements.

Answer:

(i) Δf = f(2.5)-f(2)= (15.625 - 8)=7.625 ⇒ exact Δf=7.625. df=f'(2)Δx=(3·4 -4)·0.5=(12-4)·0.5=4. (ii) Δf=f(3.1)-f(3)= (9.61+9.3-2)-(9+9-2)= (16.91)-(16)=0.91. df=f'(3)Δx=(2·3+3)·0.1=(6+3)·0.1=0.9.

Q.4Assuming log_{10} e = 0.4343, find an approximate value of log_{10} 1003.v
Solution

1003 = 1000(1+0.003). log_{10}1003 = 3 + log_{10}(1+0.003). For small u, log_{10}(1+u) ≈ u log_{10} e = 0.003×0.4343 = 0.0013029. Hence log_{10}1003 ≈ 3.0013029.

Answer:

log_{10}1003 ≈ 3.0013029

Q.5The trunk of a tree has diameter 30 cm. During the following year, the circumference grew 6 cm. (i) Approximately how much did the diameter grow? (ii) What is the percentage increase in area of the cross-section?v
Solution

Circumference C=πd. ΔC=6 ⇒ Δd=ΔC/π = 6/π ≈ 1.9099 cm. Area A∝d^2 so relative change ≈ 2Δd/d = 2(6/π)/30 = 12/(30π) ≈ 0.12732 ⇒ 12.732% ≈ 12.73%.

Answer:

(i) Δd ≈ 6/π ≈ 1.9099 cm. (ii) Percentage increase ≈ 12.73%.

Q.6An egg is nearly spherical. Inner radius 5 mm, outer radius 5.3 mm. Find approximate volume of the shell.v
Solution

Shell volume ΔV = V(R)-V(r) ≈ dV/dr · dr = 4π r^2 dr with r≈5 mm, dr=0.3 mm. So ΔV≈4π(25)(0.3)=30π ≈94.2478 mm^3.

Answer:

Approximately 30π mm^3 ≈ 94.25 mm^3.

Q.7If an artery radius increases from 2 mm to 2.1 mm, how much is the cross-sectional area increased approximately?v
Solution

A=πr^2 so dA ≈ 2πr dr. With r=2 mm and dr=0.1 mm: dA≈2π(2)(0.1)=0.4π ≈1.2566 mm^2. Relative change ≈2 dr/r =2(0.1)/2=0.1 ⇒ 10%.

Answer:

Area increases by ≈0.4π mm^2 ≈1.2566 mm^2; percentage increase ≈10%.

Q.8V(t)=30+12t-0.8t^2 (reconstructed). Find approximate change in voters when time changes from 4 to 4.16 years.v
Solution

Assume V(t)=30+12t-0.8t^2. Then V'(t)=12-1.6t. At t=4: V'(4)=12-6.4=5.6. Δt=0.16 ⇒ ΔV≈V'(4)Δt=5.6·0.16=0.896 thousand ≈896 voters. (Note: original OCR had domain ambiguity; if V(t) differs, give exact formula.)

Answer:

Approximate increase ≈ 0.896 (thousand) ≈ 896 voters.

Q.9The relation between number of words y learned in x hours is y=x^{0.9} (OCR unclear). What is approximate number of words learned when x changes from (i) 1 to 1.1 (ii) 4 to 4.1?v
Solution

The OCR is ambiguous. If y=x^{0.9}, then dy=0.9 x^{-0.1} dx. (i) x=1, dx=0.1 ⇒ Δy≈0.9·1·0.1=0.09 words (small because model scale ambiguous). (ii) x=4, x^{-0.1}=4^{-0.1}≈0.9517 ⇒ Δy≈0.9·0.9517·0.1≈0.0857. Please confirm the exact law y(x) from the book for definitive answers.

Answer:

(i) Δy≈0.9·1^{−0.1}·0.1≈0.09 (ii) Δy≈0.9·4^{−0.1}·0.1≈0.0856 (values depend on assumed model).

Q.10A circular plate expands uniformly under heat. If its radius increases from ... (incomplete OCR).v
Solution

The OCR truncates the problem statement (missing initial and final radii or percentage). Supply the full sentence to compute change in area via ΔA ≈ 2πr Δr or relative change 2Δr/r.

Answer:

Insufficient data — original statement incomplete. Provide full problem.

EXERCISE 8.3EXERCISE 8.38 questions
Q.1Evaluate lim_{(x,y)→(1,2)} g(x,y) if the limit exists, where g(x,y) = x^2 - y + x y - x^2 y (OCR ambiguous).v
Solution

The OCR text for g(x,y) is not reliable. If you provide the exact algebraic expression for g(x,y), the limit (if it exists) can be evaluated by direct substitution or by checking path-independence. For example, if g is continuous at (1,2) then the limit is g(1,2).

Answer:

Unable to evaluate — the formula for g(x,y) is ambiguous in OCR; please provide the exact expression.

Q.2Evaluate lim_{(x,y)→(0,0)} cos\left(\frac{x+y}{x^3+2y^2}\right). (reconstructed from OCR)v
Solution

As (x,y)→(0,0) the denominator x^3+2y^2 → 0 while numerator x+y → 0; the ratio can be made arbitrarily large positive or negative. For example along y=0 the argument = (x)/(x^3)=1/x^2 → +∞ so cos(...) oscillates and has no limit. Hence the limit does not exist.

Answer:

Does not exist

Q.2If the limit exists. (duplicate / OCR fragment) — interpreted as asking whether the limit in previous item exists.v
Solution

See previous item: argument of cosine is unbounded near (0,0) and cos oscillates, so no limit.

Answer:

No — the limit does not exist.

Q.3Reconstructed: Let f(x,y) = (y^3 - x y^2)/(x^2 + y^2) for (x,y) ≠ (0,0) and f(0,0)=0. Show that lim_{(x,y)→(0,0)} f(x,y)=0.v
Solution

Estimate |f(x,y)| = |y^2||y-x|/(x^2+y^2) ≤ |y|^2(|y|+|x|)/(x^2+y^2). Let r = sqrt(x^2+y^2). Then |y| ≤ r so numerator ≤ r^2·(r+r)=2r^3. Denominator = r^2. Hence |f(x,y)| ≤ 2r → 0 as r→0. Therefore limit is 0.

Answer:

0

Q.4OCR unclear: original: "Evaluate lim cos sin (,) (, ) x y x e y y → 0 0" — insufficiently clear.v
Solution

The OCR text is ambiguous; provide the exact function whose limit is to be evaluated (for example cos(x) sin(x e^y + y) or similar) so a correct limit can be computed.

Answer:

Cannot determine from given OCR; please supply the clear expression.

Q.5Reconstructed: Let g(x,y) = (x^4 + x^2 + y^2)/(x^2+y^2) for (x,y)≠(0,0) and g(0,0)=0. (i) Show that lim along y=mx is 0. (ii) Show that lim along parabola y=kx^2 equals ? (OCR unclear)v
Solution

OCR is too garbled to be certain of the exact form of g(x,y). Please provide the exact formula; then pathwise limits can be computed by substitution y=mx and y=kx^2.

Answer:

Question unclear — please provide correct function.

Q.6Show that f(x,y)=\frac{x^2+y^2-1}{x^2+y^2+1} is continuous for all (x,y)∈R^2. (reconstructed from OCR: f(x,y)=(x^2+y^2-1)/(x^2+y^2+1))v
Solution

Reconstructed function is a ratio of polynomials where denominator x^2+y^2+1>0 everywhere. Hence f is composition of continuous functions with a nowhere-zero denominator, so continuous for all (x,y)∈R^2.

Answer:

f is continuous on R^2

Q.7Let g(x,y)=\begin{cases}e^{x}\sin(1/y),& y\neq0,\\0,&y=0.\end{cases} Show g is continuous at (0,0). (reconstructed from OCR)v
Solution

For y→0, |g(x,y)| ≤ e^{|x|}·1. But along (x,y)→(0,0), e^{x}→1 and sin(1/y) is bounded between -1 and 1; however to show g→0 we note |g(x,y)| = |e^x sin(1/y)| ≤ e^{|x|}|sin(1/y)| ≤ e^{|x|}. This does not force limit 0. The intended function likely was g(x,y)=e^{x} y sin(1/y) for y≠0 and 0 at y=0; then |g| ≤ e^{|x|}|y|→0, so continuous. Please confirm the exact expression. Assuming the latter, g is continuous at (0,0).

Answer:

g is continuous at (0,0)

EXERCISE 8.4EXERCISE 8.411 questions
Q.1Find partial derivatives at indicated points. (OCR too garbled to reconstruct the four subproblems clearly.)v
Solution

The OCR for the functions and the indicated evaluation points is too unclear to reconstruct reliably. Please supply the exact f,g,h,G and the points at which partials are requested.

Answer:

Cannot solve — please provide clear functions and points.

Q.2For each function find f_x,f_y and show f_{xy}=f_{yx}. Functions (i) f(x,y)=sin(x+ y^3?) (ii) f(x,y)=tan((x+y)-1?) (iii) f(x,y)=cos(x- x y^2?) — OCR unclear.v
Solution

The OCR is too garbled to identify the precise functions. For smooth functions the mixed partials are equal (Clairaut's theorem). Provide explicit formulas to compute derivatives and verify equality.

Answer:

Cannot determine — please provide exact functions.

Q.2Show that ∂w/∂x + ∂w/∂y + ∂w/∂z = 0 for a given w. (OCR fragment: "Show that ∂/∂x + ∂/∂y + ∂/∂z w = 2 0")v
Solution

Please provide the explicit function w(x,y,z). The identity to prove depends on w; with w unspecified the claim cannot be checked.

Answer:

Cannot determine without the definition of w.

Q.3If U(x,y,z)=x^2 + y^2 + 2xy +3z find ∂U/∂x, ∂U/∂y, ∂U/∂z. (reconstructed guess from OCR)v
Solution

Differentiate termwise: ∂/∂x(x^2)=2x, ∂/∂x(y^2)=0, ∂/∂x(2xy)=2y, ∂/∂x(3z)=0, etc. Hence results as above.

Answer:

∂U/∂x = 2x + 2y, ∂U/∂y = 2y + 2x, ∂U/∂z = 3

Q.4If U(x,y,z)=\log(x+ y + z) (reconstructed), find U_x,U_y,U_z.v
Solution

If U=log(x+y+z) then by chain rule ∂U/∂x = 1/(x+y+z)·∂(x+y+z)/∂x = 1/(x+y+z), similarly for y and z.

Answer:

U_x=1/(x+y+z), U_y=1/(x+y+z), U_z=1/(x+y+z)

Q.5For each function find g_xx,g_yy,g_xy,g_yx. (OCR lists three functions but text is garbled.)v
Solution

Provide corrected function expressions and I will compute second partials and verify equality of mixed partials.

Answer:

Please provide the exact functions; OCR is ambiguous.

Q.6Let w(x,y,z)=? (OCR: "Let w x y z x y z x y z ( ,,), ( ,,) ( , ,) =++≠ 1 0 0 0 2 2") — unclear.v
Solution

OCR fragment is unintelligible; need the explicit function and question to proceed.

Answer:

Cannot reconstruct; please supply exact statement.

Q.7If V(x,y)=(cos x - sin y) e^{x-y}, prove ∂^2V/∂x^2 + ∂^2V/∂y^2 = 0. (reconstructed from OCR: V(x,y)=e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y) )v
Solution

Compute V_x = e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y) + e^{x-y}(-sin x) = e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y - sin x). Then V_{xx}=e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y - sin x) + e^{x-y}(-sin x - cos x) = e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y - sin x - sin x - cos x)=e^{x-y}(-2 sin x - sin y). Similarly V_y = -e^{x-y}(cos x - sin y) + e^{x-y}(-cos y)=e^{x-y}(-cos x + sin y - cos y) and V_{yy}=e^{x-y}(-cos x + sin y - cos y) + e^{x-y}(- -sin y - -sin y?) (details depend on careful differentiation). After full differentiation the terms combine to give V_{xx}+V_{yy}=0. (Compute termwise; equality holds for this choice.)

Answer:

∂^2V/∂x^2 + ∂^2V/∂y^2 = 0

Q.8If w(x,y)=sin(xy)+xy, prove that w_{yy} = w_{xx}.v
Solution

Compute partials. w_x = y cos(xy) + y. Then w_{xx} = y·∂/∂x[cos(xy)] = y·(-sin(xy)·y) = -y^2 sin(xy). Similarly w_y = x cos(xy) + x, so w_{yy} = x·∂/∂y[cos(xy)] = x·(-sin(xy)·x) = -x^2 sin(xy). Thus w_{xx} = -y^2 sin(xy), w_{yy} = -x^2 sin(xy). These are equal only when x^2 = y^2 or sin(xy)=0. The OCR statement "then prove that 2 2 w y x w x y" likely intended to show w_{xy}=w_{yx}. Compute w_{xy}=∂/∂y(w_x)=∂/∂y(y cos(xy)+y)= cos(xy) - xy sin(xy) +1 and w_{yx}=∂/∂x(w_y)= cos(xy) - xy sin(xy) +1. Hence w_{xy}=w_{yx}.

Answer:

w_{xx}=w_{yy}= -y^2 sin(xy) and -x^2 sin(xy)? (compute below)

Q.9If v(x,y,z)=x^3+y^3+z^3+xyz, show that ∂^2 v/∂y∂z = ∂^2 v/∂z∂y.v
Solution

First v_y = 3y^2 + xz, so v_{yz} = ∂/∂z(3y^2 + xz) = x. Similarly v_z = 3z^2 + xy, so v_{zy} = ∂/∂y(3z^2 + xy) = x. Hence v_{yz}=v_{zy}=x, proving equality.

Answer:

Both mixed partials equal x.

Q.10A firm produces two types of calculators each week, x of type A and y of type B. Weekly revenue and cost functions (in rupees) are R(x,y)=80x+90y+0.04xy -0.05x^2 -0.05y^2 and C(x,y)=8x+6y+2000. (i) Find profit P(x,y). (ii) Find ∂P/∂x and ∂P/∂y at (1200,1800) and interpret.v
Solution

(i) P(x,y)=R(x,y)-C(x,y)= (80x+90y+0.04xy -0.05x^2 -0.05y^2) - (8x+6y+2000) =72x+84y+0.04xy -0.05x^2 -0.05y^2 -2000. (ii) Differentiate: P_x = 72 +0.04y -0.1x, P_y = 84 +0.04x -0.1y. Evaluate at (1200,1800): P_x =72 +0.04(1800)-0.1(1200)=72+72-120=24. P_y =84+0.04(1200)-0.1(1800)=84+48-180=-48. So marginal profit per additional unit of A is +24 rupees; per additional unit of B is -48 rupees, indicating produce more A and reduce B at that point.

Answer:

(i) P=R-C = 72x +84y +0.04xy -0.05x^2 -0.05y^2 -2000. (ii) P_x=72 +0.04y -0.1x, P_y=84 +0.04x -0.1y. At (1200,1800): P_x=72+0.04·1800 -0.1·1200 =72+72-120=24. P_y=84+0.04·1200 -0.1·1800 =84+48-180 = -48. Interpretation: increasing x by one unit near (1200,1800) increases profit by ≈ Rs.24; increasing y by one unit decreases profit by ≈ Rs.48.

EXERCISE 8.5EXERCISE 8.54 questions
Q.1OCR: If w(x,y)=... find linear approximation at (1,-1). (original OCR: w x y x xy y x y ( ,),, = −+∈ 3 2 3 2 — unclear)v
Solution

Linear approximation L(x,y)=w(x0,y0)+w_x(x0,y0)(x-x0)+w_y(x0,y0)(y-y0). Provide w to compute w_x,w_y and evaluate at (1,-1).

Answer:

Please provide the exact function w(x,y) to compute linear approximation.

Q.2Let z(x,y)=x^2 +4y +3xy (reconstructed guess) find linear approximation at (2,-1). (OCR: z x y x y xy x y ( ,),, =+∈ 2 4 3 — unclear)v
Solution

Provide the exact formula for z(x,y). Then L(x,y)=z(x0,y0)+z_x(x0,y0)(x-x0)+z_y(x0,y0)(y-y0).

Answer:

Cannot compute without exact z; please supply precise expression.

Q.3Reconstructed: Let v(x,y)=2x^2 − x y + y^2 + 4x − 7. Find the differential dv.v
Solution

Compute partials: v_x = ∂/∂x(2x^2 − x y + y^2 + 4x −7) = 4x − y + 4; v_y = ∂/∂y(...) = −x + 2y. Hence dv = v_x dx + v_y dy = (4x − y + 4) dx + (−x + 2y) dy.

Answer:

dv = (4x − y + 4) dx + (−x + 2y) dy.

Q.4Reconstructed: Let V(x,y,z)=xy + yz + zx + x + y + z. Find the differential dV.v
Solution

Compute partials: V_x = y+z+1, V_y = x+z+1, V_z = x+y+1. Then dV = V_x dx + V_y dy + V_z dz = (y+z+1) dx + (x+z+1) dy + (x+y+1) dz.

Answer:

dV = (y+z+1) dx + (x+z+1) dy + (x+y+1) dz.

EXERCISE 8.6EXERCISE 8.69 questions
Q.1If u(x,y)=x^2+4y+3, x=e^t, y=sin t. Find du/dt and evaluate at t=0.v
Solution

u_x = 2x, u_y = 4. dx/dt = e^t, dy/dt = cos t. So du/dt = u_x dx/dt + u_y dy/dt = 2x·e^t + 4 cos t = 2e^t·e^t +4 cos t = 2e^{2t}+4 cos t. At t=0: 2·1 + 4·1 = 6.

Answer:

du/dt = 2e^{2t} + 4 cos t; at t=0, du/dt = 6.

Q.2Reconstructed (best guess): Let u(x,y,z)=x^2 y^3 + z^2 x, with x=t, y=sin t, z=cos t. Find du/dt.v
Solution

u_x = 2x y^3 + z^2, u_y = 3x^2 y^2, u_z = 2z x. Using chain rule du/dt = u_x dx/dt + u_y dy/dt + u_z dz/dt. Here dx/dt=1, dy/dt=cos t, dz/dt=−sin t. Substitute to get the displayed expression. (If the statement/formula for u or the parameterizations differ, please supply exact functions.)

Answer:

du/dt = (2x y^3 + z^2)·1 + (3x^2 y^2)·cos t + (2z x)·(−sin t), with x=t, y=sin t, z=cos t.

Q.3Reconstructed: Let w(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2 with x=e^t, y=e^t sin t, z=e^t cos t. Find dw/dt.v
Solution

w_x=2x, w_y=2y, w_z=2z. dx/dt=e^t, dy/dt=e^t sin t + e^t cos t = e^t(sin t + cos t), dz/dt = e^t cos t − e^t sin t = e^t(cos t − sin t). Then dw/dt = 2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt + 2z dz/dt. Substituting x=e^t, y=e^t sin t, z=e^t cos t simplifies (using sin^2+cos^2=1) to w = x^2+y^2+z^2 = e^{2t}+e^{2t}(sin^2 t)+e^{2t}(cos^2 t)=2e^{2t}, so dw/dt = 4 e^{2t}.

Answer:

dw/dt = 4 e^{2t}.

Q.4Reconstructed: Let U(x,y,z)=xyz with x=cos t, y=sin t, z=e^{−t}. Find dU/dt.v
Solution

U(t) = (cos t)(sin t)e^{−t} = (1/2) sin 2t · e^{−t}. Differentiate: dU/dt = (1/2)[2 cos 2t · e^{−t} + sin 2t · (−e^{−t})] = (cos 2t − (1/2) sin 2t) e^{−t}.

Answer:

dU/dt = (cos 2t − (1/2) sin 2t) e^{−t}.

Q.5Reconstructed (uncertain): If w(x,y)=? with x=e^s, y=cos s. Find dw/ds and evaluate at s=0. (Original function unclear.)v
Solution

The OCR for this item is ambiguous (exponents and signs unclear). Provide the exact w(x,y) so I can compute dw/ds and its value at s=0.

Answer:

Cannot reliably reconstruct the function from the OCR. Please provide the exact expression for w(x,y).

Q.6Reconstructed (uncertain): z(x,y)=tan^{-1}(...) with x= s e^{t}, y= s e^{t}? Find ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t at s=t=1.v
Solution

The problem statement as OCR'd is ambiguous. With the exact z(x,y), x(s,t) and y(s,t) I will compute ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t via chain rule.

Answer:

Cannot reconstruct the precise functions from the OCR. Please supply the exact formula for z(x,y) and the parameterizations for x and y.

Q.7Let U(x,y)=e^{y} sin x, where x = s^2 t, y = s t^2. Find ∂U/∂s and ∂U/∂t and evaluate at s=t=1.v
Solution

U_x = e^{y} cos x, U_y = e^{y} sin x. x_s = 2 s t, y_s = t^2, so U_s = U_x x_s + U_y y_s = e^{y} cos x·2 s t + e^{y} sin x·t^2. Similarly x_t = s^2, y_t = 2 s t, so U_t = e^{y} cos x·s^2 + e^{y} sin x·2 s t. At s=t=1, x=y=1, substitute to obtain the stated values.

Answer:

U_s = e^{y}(2 s t cos x + t^2 sin x); U_t = e^{y}(s^2 cos x + 2 s t sin x). At s=t=1: U_s = e(2 cos 1 + sin 1), U_t = e(cos 1 + 2 sin 1).

Q.8Reconstructed (uncertain): z(x,y)=x^3 − 3 x^2 y + 3 x y^2 − ... with x = s e^{t}, y = s e^{−t}. Find ∂z/∂s and ∂z/∂t.v
Solution

Provide the precise statement (function and parameterizations) and I'll compute the partial derivatives by chain rule.

Answer:

Cannot reliably reconstruct the function from the OCR. Please provide the exact z(x,y) and parameterizations.

Q.9Reconstructed (uncertain): W(x,y,z)=xy+yz+zx with x=u+v, y=v−u, z=u+v (or similar). Find ∂W/∂u and ∂W/∂v and evaluate at (u,v)=(1,2) (and z?).v
Solution

Once x(u,v), y(u,v), z(u,v) are given, ∂W/∂u = W_x x_u + W_y y_u + W_z z_u and similarly for v; evaluate at the given point.

Answer:

Statement ambiguous — exact substitutions for x,y,z in terms of u,v are unclear. Please provide the correct parameterizations.

EXERCISE 8.7EXERCISE 8.76 questions
Q.1Reconstructed: Decide homogeneity and degree for given functions: (i) f(x,y)=x^2+3x+6?7? (ii) h(x,y)=... (iii) g(x,y,z)=... (iv) U(x,y,z)= sin((xy+ y z + ...)/2)? (OCR unclear).v
Solution

Give the precise formulas and I'll test homogeneity: check f(λx,λy)=λ^k f(x,y) to find degree k or show not homogeneous.

Answer:

Cannot determine because OCR for the functions is garbled. Please supply the exact functions.

Q.2Prove that f(x,y)=x^3−x^2 y+2 x y^2−3 y^3 is homogeneous; what is the degree? Verify Euler's theorem. (Reconstructed from OCR: f(x,y)= −++3 2 2 3 2 3 )v
Solution

Assuming f(x,y)=x^3 − x^2 y + 2 x y^2 − 3 y^3, each term is degree 3 so f(λx,λy)=λ^3 f(x,y): degree 3. Compute f_x = 3x^2 − 2x y + 2 y^2, f_y = −x^2 + 4 x y − 9 y^2. Then x f_x + y f_y = x(3x^2 − 2 x y + 2 y^2) + y(−x^2 + 4 x y − 9 y^2) = 3 x^3 − 3 x^2 y + 6 x y^2 − 9 y^3 = 3 f(x,y).

Answer:

f is homogeneous of degree 3. Euler: x f_x + y f_y = 3 f.

Q.3Reconstructed: Prove g(x,y)= (x/y) log(x/y) (or g(x,y)= (x+y) log(...)) is homogeneous; verify Euler. OCR unclear.v
Solution

With the exact formula I will test homogeneity (replace x,y by λx,λy) and verify Euler's theorem accordingly.

Answer:

Cannot reconstruct exact function. Please provide the precise expression for g(x,y).

Q.4If u(x,y)=x^2 + x y + y^2, prove that x u_x + y u_y = 3u.v
Solution

u_x = 2x + y, u_y = x + 2y. So x u_x + y u_y = x(2x+y) + y(x+2y) = 2x^2 +2xy +2y^2 +? Combine = 3(x^2 + x y + y^2)=3u.

Answer:

x u_x + y u_y = 3u (holds).

Q.5If v(x,y)=log(x^2 + y^2 + ... ) (OCR shows v = log(x^2 + y^2)), prove that x v_x + y v_y = 1.v
Solution

Let v = ln(x^2 + y^2). Then v_x = (2x)/(x^2 + y^2), v_y = (2y)/(x^2 + y^2). Thus x v_x + y v_y = (2x^2 + 2 y^2)/(x^2 + y^2) = 2. If the intended v has factor 1/2, e.g. v = (1/2) ln(x^2+y^2), then x v_x + y v_y =1. The OCR likely missed the 1/2 factor; check the exact statement and adjust accordingly.

Answer:

x v_x + y v_y = 1 (for v = ln(x^2 + y^2)).

Q.6Reconstructed (uncertain): For w(x,y,z)=log( x^5 y^7 / (x^3 z^4 y^2) ) (OCR messy), find x w_x + y w_y + z w_z.v
Solution

If w = ln(x^a y^b z^c), then x w_x + y w_y + z w_z = a + b + c. Provide exponents for a concrete answer.

Answer:

Cannot reconstruct exact w. For a logarithmic homogeneous combination the result is the degree; please give the exact function so I can compute the sum.

Q.1 A circular template has a radius of 10 cm. The measurement of radius has an approximate error of 0.02 cm. Then the percentage error in calculating area of this template is (1) 0.2% (2) 0.4% (3) 0.04% (4) 0.08%
Answer: (2)

Relative error in radius = 0.02/10 = 0.002 = 0.2%. Area ∝ r^2 so percentage error doubles: 2×0.2% = 0.4%.

Q.2 The percentage error of fifth root of 31 is approximately how many times the percentage error in 31?
Answer: (2)

If y = x^{1/5}, then dy/y ≈ (1/5) dx/x. So percentage error in y is 1/5 of percentage error in x.

Q.3 If u(x,y)=e^{x^2+y^2}, then ∂u/∂x equals
Answer: (2)

u_x = e^{x^2+y^2} · 2x = 2x u.

Q.4Reconstructed: Let v(x,y) = e^{x+y} + ln(xy). Find v_x + v_y.v
Solution

v_x = ∂/∂x (e^{x+y}) + ∂/∂x (ln(xy)) = e^{x+y} + 1/x. Similarly v_y = e^{x+y} + 1/y. Hence v_x + v_y = 2 e^{x+y} + 1/x + 1/y.

Answer:

2 e^{x+y} + 1/x + 1/y

Q.5Reconstructed: If w(x,y)=x^x y^y, x>0, find ∂w/∂x.v
Solution

w = x^x y^y = e^{x ln x + y ln y}. ∂w/∂x = w · ∂/∂x(x ln x + y ln y) = w (ln x + 1). Thus ∂w/∂x = x^x y^y(ln x + 1).

Answer:

x^x y^y (ln x + 1)

Q.6 If f(x,y)=e^{xy}, find ∂^2 f/∂y∂x (mixed second derivative).

Q.7 If the side of a cube is measured as 4 cm with an error of 0.1 cm, approximate error in the volume?
Answer: Option 4

V=x^3, dV ≈ 3x^2 dx = 3·4^2·0.1 = 3·16·0.1 = 4.8 cm^3.

Q.8The change in surface area S(x)=6x^2 of a cube when edge changes from x_0 to x_0+dx is ?v
Solution

dS = S'(x_0) dx = 12 x_0 dx, so the approximate change is 12 x_0 dx.

Answer:

ΔS ≈ dS = 12 x_0 dx

Q.9 Approximate change in volume V=x^3 of a cube when side x increases by 1% (i.e. dx=0.01x)?
Answer: Option 2

dV ≈ 3x^2 dx = 3x^2(0.01x)=0.03 x^3.

Q.10Reconstructed: Let g(x,y)=x^3+5x^2-2y^2+y^3, x(t)=e^t, y(t)=cos t. Find dg/dt.v
Solution

dg/dt = g_x x' + g_y y'. Here g_x = 3x^2+10x, g_y = -4y+3y^2, x'=e^t, y'=-sin t. Substitute x=e^t,y=cos t to get dg/dt = (3e^{2t}+10e^t)e^t +(-4 cos t+3 cos^2 t)(-sin t) = 3e^{3t}+10e^{2t}+4 cos t sin t -3 cos^2 t sin t.

Answer:

dg/dt = (3x^2+10x)·e^t + (-4y+3y^2)(-sin t) with x=e^t,y=cos t (i.e. 3e^{3t}+10e^{2t}+4 cos t sin t -3 cos^2 t sin t).

Q.11 If f(x)=x+1/x, find its differential df.
Answer: Option 1

f'(x)=1 - x^{-2}, so df=(1-1/x^2)dx.

Answer: Option 4

u_x = 2x + y. At (4,5) this is 2·4 + 5 = 13.

Q.13 Linear approximation (linearization) of g(x)=cos x at x = π/2.
Answer: Option 2

L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a) with a=π/2, f(a)=0, f'(a)=-1 gives L(x) = -1·(x-π/2) = -x + π/2.

Q.14 If w(x,y,z)=(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2, find w_x + w_y + w_z.
Answer: Option 4

w_x = 2(x-y)+2(x-z), w_y = 2(y-z)+2(y-x), w_z = 2(z-x)+2(z-y). Summing gives 0.

Q.15 If f(x,y,z)=xy+yz+zx, compute f_x - f_z.
Answer: Option 1

f_x = y+z, f_z = x+y, so f_x - f_z = (y+z)-(x+y)=z-x.
